    Scythe Quiet Drive as an external enclosure

    I'm trying to find a quieter/cooler solution for an external SATA enclosure, and all the standard products seem to suck. I'm thinking about trying to run a "Quiet Drive" box as a SATA external enclosure. One option is to hook it up to a Scythe "Kama Connect" , but I've read in some reviews...

    Allowing traffic only over VPN

    Yeah, totally, it should right? I suck at this networking stuff, but I'm using ZoneAlarm Pro and I was trying to set this up in the firewall rules, and from what I can tell they're doing their firewall *before* the traffic gets to the VPN adapter. From reading their documentation that appears...

    Allowing traffic only over VPN

    Really? I don't see how that can be, it's not a server side thing, it's my client. Just to make sure I'm clear : My machine is on a standard public network; either my home DSL or a public WiFi or whatever. I connect to the VPN "adapter" and that's fine, but when that connection is lost...

    Allowing traffic only over VPN

    So I have a VPN connection from my machine to a remote host. Occasionally the VPN connection goes down, and my machine then goes to the next access method which is my primary/public internet connection. I want to make sure that my traffic can *only* go over the VPN, and if the VPN goes down, I...
